If you or (anyone you know) were terminated on July 14, please go over your final check carefully. I was shorted over ninety hours on my accrued leave. When I contacted BSC HR, they had to look into it then said, "The leave balance was our error." I'm to receive the difference soon, but the point is, wouldn't you think they would be even MORE careful now about any sort of financial errors?

Well said, inahurry. I agree with "It’s a far cry from the “human dignity” that Pollick has preached for 6 years." Like charity, doesn't human dignity start at home? If a leader has no respect or regard for those he leads, how can he expect it in return? In a city like Birmingham that needs all the bright spots it can find, to see this fiasco mostly ignored or brushed under the rug and expect business as usual to go on at BSC because the board won't act on the values they agreed to uphold when they accepted the position is unacceptable. Alums, students, their parents, faculty & staff and other concerned citizens should contact the board and Pollick to make their voices heard.

Thanks, bscsteward. Alums and donors really should hold the administration and board accountable. We always hear so much about the "BSC family" and don't family members hold one another accountable for their decisions and actions? Although I imagine those people who were fired didn't much feel part of a family when escorted to their cars. Such a way to treat people. Very sad indeed and you can see by some of the comments on here that the administration's lack of regard and respect for their colleagues has filtered down to the students/alums who sink to name calling and baiting.

If alums feel so strongly, and I congratulate you for your passion, the best thing you could do would be to call Pollick & or board members suggesting that you are not interested in contributing to the school as long as he is there. As long as people just complain among themselves, the people responsible for this travesty go their merry way and BSC continues to deteriorate.

Luckily your daughter has other good options in Bham. UAB, Samford, etc. I can't understand why this paper or the BSC board or someone hasn't done a complete investigation of where these funds have gone. Chalking it up to a financial mistake just doesn't wash, 10 mil. is a lot of money to go unaccounted for. I would think that all these cuts would seriously affect their accreditation.
